Introduction to spindle spinning

A 2-hour private lesson to learn the basics of drop-spindle wool spinning.

Price: €60 All materials are provided on-site. You can also opt for the 4-hour “Yarn Making” package, which includes an introduction to spinning on a wheel and covers a wider range of techniques. Price: €120
